On April 15th, daycares opened again as well as elementary schools for students up to grade 5. It has been so good for Dean to be back at school. I am doing home schooling with Freya and Ila and Mei are doing virtual school with their IB program.
On April 20th, some non-essential stores were allowed to open along with health and beauty services such as salons, physiotherapists, and psychologists. This reopening has been controlled, however, with procedures in place to protect everyone. The point is to slowly resume regular activities without overburdening hospitals with critical cases. So far things are going well and should continue to do so as long as people adhere to the measures still in place such as no gatherings over ten people. It is recommended of course that everyone continues to wash hands regularly and keep a safe distance from others.
Churches, museums, recreation centers, shopping malls, etc. are still closed.
The border is still closed to non-Danish citizens but they have recently relaxed that to let family members of citizens enter the country again.
All summer festivals have been cancelled.
All other restrictions that were made in March are being evaluated and will remain in place until May 10 or 11. The government will be making some decisions next week about what the next phase in reopening will consist of.
I am really hoping that museums and churches (and Legoland!) will be able to safely open soon before Rus has to return to Canada in June.
In the meantime we will just keep going for walks and bike rides...

Another great post!
I've been reading how Denmark is doing a good job regarding precautionary measures. The U.S. is embarrassing the western world unfortunately. I am afraid that Canada will feel the repercussions...
